Lucia scowled at Spencer and said, "What? I didn't make myself clear enough today?"
"If Ms. Wilson finds out about this, her trust in me will be gone. Lucia, you know I'll do everything I can to get you to agree to help. Why are you forcing me to be so heartless?" Spencer stopped Lucia. "You're just threatening with Teddy again, aren't you?" Lucia sneered, with her cold eyes staring straight at Spencer,
"Do you really think I'm going to give in without a reply? This time, you're the ones who broke the rules of business. You're the ones who should be punished. If you threaten me with Teddy, fine. Let's go to Esmae and talk it out. I'll see if she'll still be on your side!"
"Do you believe that I will tell her that the baby is Arthur's?!" Spencer had already made up his mind to go all the way with Lucia.
"So what? Is she going to make me get an abortion?" Lucia thought Spencer's threat was ridiculous.
Spencer did not expect Lucia to not take his words. He thought for a long time, suddenly sneered and said,Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"What if... I told Edwin and Sophie about this?"
Lucia's eyes darkened. Edwin and Sophie were high on her list.
"If they know you are carrying Arthur's child, they'd do anything to get it back. Do you think Ms. Wilson will say yes? After Teddy, Lucia, what kind of future does this one have in store for you?" Spencer spoke in a low voice. His face was as dark as a hungry wolf waiting to devour its prey.
"Sure enough, you'll do anything for profit," Lucia said, lowering her eyes and sighing,
"Your threat is indeed useful, but it makes me feel ridiculous. Spencer, sometimes I really don't know what you're thinking. You say that you want to move me with tenderness, but everything you do hurts me. You understand the love in it. What exactly is it? I'm very curious..."
Spencer was ashamed of what Lucia had said, but he stood his ground and said,
"That's because you've been rejecting me. I have something that I need to pursue after all. Fame, fortune, and power. At the very least, these things are things that I can obtain through hard work. However, you've always rejected me. Since that's the case, I can only pursue what I can get."
"That's right. I want to applaud you," Lucia sneered. "Since you've made it so clear, let's talk about interests. If you want me to help you, you must give me something in return, right?"
Despite Lucia's request, there were signs of a Yes, and Spencer quickly asked,
"What do you want in return?!"
"I'm moving out," Lucia said.
"No way!" Spencer immediately refused, telling her to move out so he would no longer have the ability to control her at all times.
"What, afraid I'll run away?" Lucia laughed.
"If Ms. Wilson knows that I let you live out here alone during your pregnancy, I can't explain it, but since you want some peace and quiet, fine, I'll have Ewan clean out the backyard building. You can live there in the future. Is that okay?" Spencer tried to talk to Lucia.
Lucia thought for a moment and realized that Spencer's villa did have a small building in the back garden. It was much quieter there, and most importantly, she didn't have to see Spencer anymore. "Yes, I will move in tomorrow, and when I do, I will deal with Helena," promised Lucia.
Spencer breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lucia say yes, but his feelings were complicated by the fact that Lucia wanted to move away just to get away from him.
"Okay, I'm tired. I'm going to rest," said Lucia, ignoring Spencer's inexplicable expression. She walked past him and up the stairs. As soon as she got up the stairs, Spencer spoke behind her again. "Lucia, I didn't mean what I said just now... if it's possible, I still hope that you can take another look at me. I really love you."
Lucia looked back coldly at Spencer, revealed her sarcasm, and smiled,
"Spencer, stop saying that to me. I don't have a great sense of humor."
As he watched Lucia disappear at the corner of the stairs, Spencer couldn't help clenching his fists. He cursed in his heart that he was imagining things again. When he calmed down and let go of his fist, he was the mercenary man again.
The next day, Lucia moved into the small building. Although not large, it was full of white, elegant layout. Lucia was satisfied.
"Lucia, are you ready to make a call?" Spencer asked as he saw Lucia's satisfied face.
Last night, his father called to urge. Spencer was under huge pressure.
Lucia glanced back at Spencer, took out her cell phone and called Helena. She put her phone on speaker,
"Helena, are you ready for bed?"
"No, I'm still on the boat," Helena replied.
"You didn't see what happened to Spencer's father," Lucia said, catching a glimpse of Spencer's expectant face. She couldn't help but laugh. It was just her and Helena's promised story. "No! I can't let them go so easily," Helena refused at once.
"Helena, Spencer is my fiancé after all. Anyway, you've already stopped it from happening. After that, you just have to be more strict in your supervision. Let's forget about it this time, shall we?" Helena was silent for a moment, and then said as Lucia had told herself,
"It's rare for you to be involved in these businesses. Fine, I'll let bygones be bygones for your sake. But remind Spencer that if there's a next time, I'll let them be blacklisted by my family!" "I know, I know," she said, and Lucia put the speaker off. "Thank you, Helena."
"I'm ready to rest. Take care of yourself," Helena said with a smile.
"Yeah." Lucia answered, hung up, and said to Spencer, "Happy?"
"Lucia, thank you!" Spencer said, feeling relieved.
"But you heard what Helena said. If it happens again, I won't bail you out," Lucia said coldly.
"It won't happen again," Spencer promised.
"In that case, please go back. This is my place now." As soon as she said that, Lucia began to kick him out.
